DHL is expecting a record-breaking Easter peak in Germany, with parcel volumes forecast to reach up to 10.5 million shipments on the busiest day.
The surge is being driven by increased online purchases of seasonal goods, including Easter gifts, decorations, garden products and larger items such as outdoor furniture and balcony solar systems.

The peak is on Tuesday 7 April, shortly after the Easter weekend. Current daily volumes have already reached around 9 million parcels, significantly above normal levels and surpassing the previous Easter peak recorded in 2024.
DHL said the continued growth highlights strong consumer demand for spring-related products and ongoing reliance on e-commerce channels during key seasonal periods.
